With a record number of cases settled during the Lok Adalat compared to previous Adalats, Ms. Prabhavati complimented the lawyers, litigants, judges, district administration, Zilla Panchayat, Police Department, Tobacco Control unit, bank officials, and various government departments.
'By resolving most pre-litigation cases through the Adalat even before they are filed in court, people's time is saved,' she said, adding that the disposal of cases will also reduce the burden on courts.
Meanwhile, four couples were reunited through compromise during the Lok Adalat, she said.

Eliotte Heinz case: Foul play involved in Wisconsin woman's death? Police reveal details
The La Crosse Police Department has shared an update about the death of Eliotte Heinz, a 22-year-old student who was found dead in the Mississippi River after she went missing in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Heinz, a Viterbo University graduate, went missing while walking home after a night out at bars with friends. Her body was found by a fisherman four days later, in the Mississippi River near Brownsville. Eliotte Heinz case: Foul play involved in Wisconsin woman's death? Police reveal details (City of La Crosse Police Department) Is foul play suspected in Eliotte Heinz's death? The La Crosse Police Department announced in a recent press release that they do not believe foul play was involved in Heinz's death. "The La Crosse Police Department continues to follow-up on information surrounding the death of Eliotte Heinz," the press release reads. "Based on the preliminary autopsy results, we do not believe there was any criminal conduct related to Eliotte's death. Final autopsy results will not be completed for several months." 'This was not the outcome we had hoped for throughout this search. Our thoughts are with Eliotte's family, friends and all those who knew Eliotte. We are grateful for the outpouring of support from so many within the La Crosse community, the State of Wisconsin and nationally to locate Eliotte,' La Crosse Police Chief Shawn Kudron said. The Viterbo University community shared a statement on social media, saying, 'Viterbo University joins the Heinz family, the La Crosse community, and all who knew and loved Eliotte in mourning her tragic passing. We are heartbroken by this loss and extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends. We are especially grateful to the La Crosse Police Department for their tireless efforts and to the many community members who showed up with compassion by searching, sharing information, offering prayers, and providing food, water, and comfort during the most difficult of days. Your outpouring of love reflects the very best Viterbo, our La Crosse community, and beyond.' 'Very sweet, quiet girl' Meanwhile, Heinz's neighbor praised the deceased woman as a kind person. Jonathan Strike, who lives in Heinz's apartment building, told Fox News that she had moved in just a few months ago. "Very sweet, quiet girl," Strike said. "[She] always said 'Hi' every time she walked by. Ever since she moved in, [she] always made an attempt to be as friendly as she can be, even with my dog jumping all over everybody. It's just heartbreaking." "She made the neighborhood better," Strike added, noting that Heinz would regularly run through the neighborhood. "If she ever had a bad day, we wouldn't know. She never gave off those vibes. She was always happy, always sweet, even on days when it was hot and humid like today." Strike said he found out about Heinz's disappearance on social media. "I found out on Facebook before anything," he said. "I'm like, 'No, that can't be her.' Then I saw her parents across the street, and I just broke down. They were trying very hard to hold out hope, and it was a rough few days. I'm just glad she's in a better place now." It remains unclear how Heinz ended up in the river. The investigation will remain open until final autopsy results are revealed.

Top priority to law and order maintenance in Andhra: HM Vangalapudi Anitha
VIJAYAWADA: Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha has said top priority is being accorded to effective maintenance of law and order in the State by strengthening the Police Department with the state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Home Minister, along with Excise Minister Kollu Ravindra, APSRTC Chairman Konakalla Narayana Rao, Eluru Range IG Ashok Kumar, and Krishna SP R Gangadhara, laid the foundation stone for the District Police Centre at China Kara Agraharam in Machilipatnam on Thursday. The training centre is being constructed on 46 acres at an estimated cost of Rs 32 crore. Speaking on the occasion, the Home Minister said there were no proper police training centres in the State post bifurcation. Though the proposal for setting up a training centre was made during the previous TDP regime (2014-19), it did not materialise due to the negligence of the YSRCP government. 'Steps are being taken to prevent crimes by installing one lakh CCTV cameras across the State, besides using drone technology,' she said. The Home Minister announced that the marine police station at Gilakaladindi will be renovated as per the Excise Minister's request. Kollu said the training centre will be a boon to Machilipatnam. There will be separate facilities to train men and women at the centre. Steps will be taken to set up a training centre for Excise cops in the same area, he said. MLAs Yarlagadda Venkata Rao (Gannavaram), Venigandla Ramu (Gudivada), and Varla Kumar Raja (Pamaru), MUDA Chairman Matta Prasad and others were present.
